Flowers may not have a soul within them, but they speak a language of their own – a language which manifests the splendour and the prowess of the Almighty. Such is their power that their glory has not faded even as the mankind has stepped into the information technology era.

The universal appeal of flowers also makes them unique gifts for various occasions. As each of the natural bloom has a meaning embedded in it, so is their respective relevance. If a single red rose symbolises passion, a yellow rose is a symbol of friendship. If a white lily signifies purity, and majesty, the calla lily stands for beauty. It is these very meanings which make flowers suitable for all occasions – be it reunion, parting, anniversaries, birthdays, Valentine's Day, Mother's Day or Boss's Day.

Flowers and love: Bonded till eternity

Flowers of all shades and types have often been used as a medium to express love. Give your beloved a single red rose or a bunch of stunning flowers, and see her expression. You might even have her in tears, given the emotional bond that you expressed through the non-verbal language of flowers.

Flowers provide you a beautiful medium for verbalising your feelings of love and warmth for your beloved, who means the world to you. Conveying a message through flowers can be more than the gesture of giving only a single flower. The unspoken message can be communicated through the arrangement, the colour combination and the number of flowers. Herein lies the importance of choice as all flowers do not signify the same meaning. If some flowers show the feeling of love at first sight, others may convey the feeling of pure love and some may even express admiration and gratitude in love.

Anthurium as an expression of love

Also known as the “Flamingo Flower” or “Boy Flower”, the Anthurium is a large genus of about 600-800 (possibly 1000) species. The floral structure of the Anthurium flowers is quite distinctive in nature. It is characterized by two main parts; the spathe and the spadix. The attractive heart-shaped structure of the spathe has rendered the name "Painter's palette" to the Anthuriums. Another unique feature of this flower is that it contains both male and female parts together.

The very fact that they are heart-shaped flowers makes Anthuriums one of the most unique expressions of love. Giving an Anthurium flower is also about being a class apart, as they are the rare choice of lovers. So, if you want to express the uniqueness of your love, you may pick an exotic design of vibrant Anthuriums in a tube vase that elegantly highlights the flower's beauty and give it to your beloved. What's more, you may also add a free message card in your own special words to make the day of that special someone you love.
